He said the INS Kalvari will add even more strength to the Indian Navy.

The prime minister said the 21st century is described as Asia's century. He said that it is also certain that the road to development in the 21st century goes through the Indian Ocean that is why the Indian Ocean has a special place in the policies of the government.

Modi said this vision can be understood through the acronym SAGAR - security and growth for all in the region.

He said the country is fully alert with regard to its global, strategic and economic interests in the Indian Ocean. He said that is why the modern and multi-dimensional Indian Navy plays a leading role in promoting peace and stability in the region.

India is playing a key role in tackling these challenges, he said.
